On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

In the end, they had to go without her.

The girls were eager to spend some time with Chen Tian since they hadn\'t had the chance yet, so they were happy to share a meal together.

Aria drove her car, being the older one, and Emilia and Chen Tian opted not to drive.

"Husband, when are you returning to the cultivation world?" Emilia asked with a nervous expression.

She really wanted Chen Tian to stay for a little while longer.

"For now, I\'ve decided to take a break from the cultivation world," Chen Tian replied.

"Since I\'m on a mission now, it wouldn\'t make sense for me to return right away—maybe in 2 days or so. I want to spend more time with you all before I go back," he added, giving Emilia and Aria a reassuring smile.

Both girls were relieved to hear that Chen Tian would be staying with them a little longer.

Although Chen Tian didn\'t particularly care about how much time he spent here and wouldn\'t mind staying longer, he couldn\'t leave Su Bingxin in the sect all on her own for an extended period.

The time ratio between both worlds was not equal, and he couldn\'t neglect his responsibilities in that world.

However, he promised to make the most of the time he had with Emilia and Aria before returning. Aria took them to a fancy restaurant, which was surprisingly affordable for ordinary people.

They had regular seats and private rooms; in short, VIP rooms that only certain people could enter.

The restaurant wasn\'t cheap, but it was definitely worth the price considering the quality of the food and the exquisite ambiance.

Most people could enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank.

But that was a problem for normal people; Emilia and Aria were far from normal.

Both women were incredibly wealthy.

Aria, working with her mother in the company, enjoyed an income of over 1 million dollars every year.

Not to mention all the other assets under her name; basically, she was rich beyond imagination.

Emilia, on the other hand, was from a noble family, which meant she had access to immense wealth and privilege. But now that she had left her family, Chen Tian didn\'t know how much wealth she had or what her current financial situation was.

Her family still hadn\'t acted when Emilia left them, and they hadn\'t tried to contact her.

But Chen Tian was sure that Emilia\'s family would eventually come and try to take Emilia away; they wouldn\'t miss the chance to make a great connection by marrying her off.

Well, they could try, but Chen Tian wouldn\'t let them succeed.

If they dared to take Emilia away, Chen Tian would wipe out their whole family.

Perhaps if Chen Tian had the cultivation of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he would have been able to effortlessly go to the country where Emilia lived and destroy them.

At that time, even a nuclear bomb wouldn\'t be enough to do as much damage as Chen Tian intended.

However, lacking such power, he would have to resort to other means.

And that was the power of wealth and influence.

Compared to his aunt and Aria, Chen Tian wasn\'t that rich; his allowance was modest, and he didn\'t have extravagant possessions.

Not to mention, he didn\'t like asking for money from his aunt. However, now was different.

After killing Yi Guo, now Chen Tian possessed all his wealth, the Yi family could rival his aunt in terms of wealth and influence.

He was no longer dependent on her for financial support and could now stand on his own.

\'After dinner, I should visit that old man and see if he did what I told him.\'

Chen Tian decided to pay a visit after spending time with both girls.

Upon entering the restaurant, he noticed the extravagant decorations and the luxurious atmosphere.

A waiter, upon noticing them, greeted them with a bright smile.

As they walked towards the private dining area, a waiter ushered them to their reserved table.

Aria probably reserved the table in advance, ensuring that they would have a comfortable and private dining experience.

It seemed that she was a regular customer at this restaurant, or perhaps she had connections that allowed her to secure such a prime spot.

"Mrs. Aria, this is the room you requested," the waiter said, gesturing towards the elegantly decorated private dining room.

"Thanks."

Aria nodded appreciatively and thanked the waiter before they took their seats.

The room was adorned with beautiful artwork and soft lighting, creating a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance.

"Aria, do you come here often?"

As they perused the menu, Chen Tian couldn\'t help but feel intrigued by Aria\'s familiarity with the restaurant.

"Yes, sister Aria, when the waiter saw you enter, he seemed to recognize you. How often do you come here?" Emilia asked curiously.

Aria smiled mysteriously, her eyes glinting with a hint of secrecy. "I come here often because it\'s my little escape from reality and when I have too much work on hand. The food here is absolutely divine, and the atmosphere is just perfect for unwinding," Aria replied.

Chen Tian and Emilia exchanged curious glances, wondering what kind of work could make someone seek refuge in such a place.

"Is the food here really that good?" Emilia asked, her stomach rumbling in anticipation. Aria nodded enthusiastically.

"You won\'t be disappointed," she assured them.

Intrigued, both Chen Tian and Emilia decided to order their meals and enjoy the evening, hoping that Aria\'s words were true.

In a short while, their orders arrived.

The aroma wafted through the air, enticing their senses. Emilia couldn\'t help but smile as they took their first bite.

"D-Delicious!" Emilia exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.

The flavors exploded in her mouth, confirming Aria\'s claims about the food.

"This kind of food is only reserved for VIPs," Aria said with a smile on her face.

"The normal people don\'t get to experience this level of culinary excellence, not to mention that one meal here is worth $20,000," she added, her eyes twinkling with pride.

"What!" Hearing her words, Chen Tian and Emilia were taken aback. They couldn\'t believe the exorbitant price tag attached to the meal they were enjoying.

It seemed unrealistic and excessive.

Chen Tian glanced at the food on the table and was visibly stunned. The beautifully plated dishes looked exquisite, but the thought of each bite costing so much money made him feel guilty.

He couldn\'t help but wonder if the taste alone justified such a hefty price.

Emilia, on the other hand, enjoyed the food as it was genuinely delicious, savoring every bite.

\'Maybe it\'s worth it,\' Chen Tian thought to himself, ignoring the price tag and focusing solely on the incredible flavors that danced on his palate.

Chen Tian took the first bite, and his eyes opened wide. His reaction was a mix of surprise and shock.

"Husband, is something wrong?"

Happy New Year, everyone! May this new year bring you joy, love, and success in all your lives.

I just finished two exams and still have two more to go.

Wish me luck; I have math next week. I\'ve been studying non-stop, and I\'m feeling like I can pass that damn test.
